I wish we were the elite. lol (Nascar should pay US to watch.)

When you lose your sense of humor, that’s when you’ll know when you’ve made it to the top.

I could care less if someone else wanted to post a diffenent race thread here at FR, anyone within reason can do so and have once in awhile. of course , some would say why, or it’s a waste of bandwidth or whatever.

Maybe we need the competition if that’s what it is all about for some.

A Gen X or Gen Y or Z thread, maybe. We’re already seeing the sprint cup turn into a WWE production in many ways, but that’s business and that’s racing these days.

I was ready to toss the racing to the curb when the CoT emerged, still thing it’s a flying tank, a lot of the fun old-time racing has been lost and I’m not referring to just the fisticuffs and bump crashing that used to go on,, mind you ;-)

I am nothing, myself. I am fortunate to own my own business. I have a dog. I drive a Ford pickup. I have a Ford V-10 in my RV. The business owns it. I occasionally take friends to races.

Do you have any idea what it costs for a weekend, with an RV? With gas at $4.00, I will confine myself within 300 miles. I go to 4-5 race weekends, each year. After hearing a description about the new seats at RIR, I will sit up there in the fall. I also go to Delaware, and Martinsville.

I have been on the first turn, bottom front at Charlotte, and came away with more rubber on me, and my kids, than Million Dollar Bill had left on his car. The noise was deafening, but the view was awesome. Picture them coming right at you and turning away at the last seconds. Some of the cameras give that view, but you gotta feel it!

Life is short. I am sorry if I am offended. I still think Junior is a spoiled brat...neener, neener! But, it's obvious he is beloved here. WCG, sorry. I will try to play nice... but you were saying certain things about something that didn't happen! You were given an alternative view, with graphics to illustrate my points. I didn't mean it as a slam, and hope you won't feel harshly toward me. You were whining. It was all in fun, and I will try to do better...

This Buds for you!
